Duplicate video file created when shared through iTunes ...

Hi,
In iMovie, when I share my project through iTunes, I get a copy of a m4v file in my iTunes Media folder and in a new folder created by iMovie in my Video folder as well.
Why do I get 2 copies of the shared movie ?
Regards.

I am not sure why Apple does it this way. You can delete one of them.
If you set up iTunes to not automatically import new files, this will not happen, but that may be inconvenient if you import a lot of music.

  • When sharing through the export media option as pro res 422 i get error code 108

    when sharing through the export media option as pro res 422 i get error code 108 and message saying could not complete because an error occurred when encoding frame 3297 - error 108!!!
    what is this frame...is it a jpeg file i have imported...how do i locate it... its a 40 minute movie and it will share to dvd just wont let me create a quicktime .mov file... any suggestions.

    What frame rate is the project? Divide the 3297 by the frame rate to get an approximate location? What are the specs of the media at that location, video and audio?

    I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive.   I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes.   With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE.  In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files.   When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive.  I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive.   Can anyone help?    I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world.   Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me!  Help !

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • Where do photos go when shared to iTunes on iPhone on Windows?  iTunes under Apps shows somethings been shared based on the size, but there is nothing in the iTunes photo section, and it says 0 photos???

    I'm new to iPhoto, and I'm trying to figure out where sharing a photo to iTunes goes on the iPhone4 and/or Windows 8?
    The Windows iTunes App section indicates something was shared and has an appropriate date and size, but the photo part says 0 photos, which makes it a little hard to delete.
    Running the latest versions of iPhone, iPhoto, iTunes, and Windows.
    Thx

    Sharing to iTunes means the item is stored in the Individual app's file sharing area.
    When your iPad is connected to your computer and selected look for the Apps tab. Select that then scroll down. First there will be a list of all your apps. Scroll down below that to find a list of your apps that support file sharing. Select iPhoto and you'll find the files you have shared to iTunes. Copy or drag them to your computer and move them where you want them.

  • Is there a way to play videos other than getting them through itunes

    is there a way to play videos other than getting them through itunes.  I have lots of dvd's that I want to play on my ipad but don't want to have to buy them again through itunes.

    You'll need to rip the DVDs to your hard drive using a tool such as Handbrake. Be sure to rip them in an iPad compatible format. Then you can drag them into iTunes and sync them to your device. It is a little bit of work but that's really the only way without (as you say) rebuying them in iTunes.

  • How to copy Video files to iPod without using iTunes???

    Hi there ..
    I have the latest iPod Video 80GB.
    If I copy video files larger than 640 pixels iTunes stops me.
    But, I don't trust apple folks.
    In the previous iPod it didn't matter the width unless you had a total number of pixels inferior to 480x480 (Mpeg4)
    Now iPod 5.5G says 640x480=307200 pixels is the max.
    If I have a 736x416=306176
    But iTunes doesn't let me copy such files into the iPod.
    I WANT TO check if at Apple just don;t want me to have such files copied or if the iPod itself can't play them for real!!!!!
    SO Anyone knows of an utility or a way to just copy such files to the iPod so that the database is refreshed and I can test them???
    thank you.

  • Help - I can't find the "File" menu when I open iTunes

    I am trying to transfer a music file from my Mac to iTunes.  Directions state to click on the "File" menu when you open iTunes - but, seriously, I can't find a "File" menu item.  Help - I am tech challenged.  Thanks.

    You might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
    If you're using a version 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

  • NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

    Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

    Search it up on google.com.  There's a lot of apps that will help you do this.  Check out this one:

    You can also check out this video:

    I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software.  You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
    Good luck!

  • Uploaded home movies revert to the original file name when added to iTunes?

    I have Home Video files that I have renamed from the original file names.  When I add these files to iTunes, the files revert to the original file name at the time the file was created.  How can I add these files to iTunes with the new file name without having to rename every Home Movie that has been added?

    OK I have done some more work and think i have the issue resolved. The problem lies with file formats specifically .mp4 and .m4v
    I suspect the files you are importing are mp4 files. When I do this i get the same behaviour of file names changing their name after playback. When i convert my files to m4v format and import the issue disappears.

  • Can't read m4v video files since I've installed Itunes 10.4 update.

    Hello,
    I've bought video files on Itunes Store which were working perfectly so far on my macbook pro.
    Since I've installed Itunes 10.4, when I launch m4v files, I just have a black non active screen, no message, nothing else.
    Other video or audio files can be read.
    I'm using mac OS X 10.6 so it's supposed to work.
    My other mac (Imac) which is using Itunes 10.3 can read these m4v files without any problem.
    So I tried to get back to Itunes 10.3 (for my macbook pro) but I can't cause the Library has now been created with a more recent version of Itunes.
    Please tell me what should I do...

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem... anyone knows what to do?

  • Cannot open files created in shared folders by Windows 7

    Hi.
    I've been having issues with my shared folders.
    My scenario is that I primarily work on my Windows 7 machine and save a copy on my MacBook so I can work on the same file when I'm out and about. I have no issue saving the files, or even browsing the shared folders on my MacBook. I can create, edit, save and delete files in the shared folder from my Windows machine without problem. The issue is that I'm unable to open any of the files created by Windows on my MacBook; it shows a prompt saying "You do not have permission to open document (filename)." I can't even see the thumbnails of image files created by Windows.
    On the MacBook there is only one Standard user account which I use to login, and one Sharing Only account which I use to connect from the Windows machine with Read/Write permissions granted on my shared folders. The WINS workgroup has also been set to the same value as on the Windows machine.
    I am able to move the files to Trash, but that's all I can do to them, which defeats the entire purpose of me having a portable computer. My shared folders were setup when I was still on Snow Leopard and had no issues before.
    It's a hassle to have to bring a USB drive around to my meetings, and I'm completely clueless on what actions I must take to rectify this issue. Anyone out there ever have this issue? Any and all help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    CR 8.5 is not supported on 64 bit OS's or ANY Terminal Servers.
    The location for 32 bit applications on a 64 bit OS is \windows\syswow64.

  • Why can't I transfer files (music or ebooks) through iTunes to my iPhone? It's a new laptop but its authorized.

    I got rid of my old computer (too slow) and bought a new laptop. I have iTunes on my laptop but my phone doesn't let me transfer files to it. Help, please.

    It's impossible to restore anything from a device, unless it was purchased on iTunes.
    You must MUST MUST keep a backup of your library.
    To restore any purchases, go to the iTunes Store and click on "Purchases", which will let you download Music, Apps, and Books that were bought through iTunes. Unfortunately, anything that wasn't can't be transferred.
    iTunes will sync back purchased music from the iPhone when you plug it in.
